i would emphasize that we've done self defense gun use. when people hear that they think someone guy is attacking you and you have to do something. the average person when they report a self defense gun use was more often than not it's just an escalating argument. people get mad at each other and someone draws the gun and said they were using the gun in self defense. that's not something that we want to promote. >> eliot: chris smith, thank you for joining us, and dr. hemmingway, also thank you for your time this evening. >> thank you. >> eliot: a new film highlights the harsh reality of climate change from the brutally cold places on earth. >> eliot: he's the best investor in the last half century and he's telling us to tax the rich. warren buffet's ideas on tax reform are coming up in my view. and former naacp chairan julian bond discusses voter suppression at 10:00 p.m. eastern on "the war room." for new there is more "viewpoint" coming right up. >> eliot: sometimes who says it is just as important as what they say. so it is with warren

now, on the other side of the border israeli defense forces reported that 30 rockets were fired into their airspace, the israeli airspace from gaza but most of those rockets were then destroyed by israel's iron dome security shield that we talked about here last night. five israelis have been killed in the conflict so far. and while israel still hasn't sent ground troops into gaza, get this. 16,000 soldiers are now standing ready at the border of gaza which, of course, makes tomorrow's negotiations all the more critical. so joining me now for prospective on the conflict is hussein ibish a senior fellow at the american task force on palestine. he's coming to us via skype from pompton plains, new jersey. hussein, welcome back inside "the war room." >> thank you governor. >> jennifer: you bet. so what, just to bring people up to speed, what are the palestinians asking for this negotiation? >> well, hamas, to be specific because hamas is not the diplomatic representative. that's the plo but there is this division between the west bank and gaza. what hamas wants at this point is pretty cl

is there a defense for this? >> not really. i think -- but you have to look again to the wider -- program that they're proposing which is lloyd blankfein said in his "wall street journal" op-ed, he would be happy to have his taxes raised. a lot of these guys to their credit have said they're willing to have their taxes raised. so clearly there has to be more than just a cut entitlements part of this problem. >> eliot: i give lloyd credit. when you have been intensely critical of this. why so harsh on them? they're saying some reasonable things. >> well, i think that in some ways, gold has gotten a little but bit out of alignment. there was a time when ceos would not so brazen as to talk about cutting entitlements in a time when a lot of people are suffering and we have a huge jobs deficit. that's the real deficit that we need to worry about right now. for example jeffrey is part of this group. going around talking about cutting social safety net. his predecessor from the 20s and 40s owen young talked publicly about economic equ
